    On Wednesday night, dozens of Israeli settlers invaded the isolated #WestBank village of #Tuba, wounding residents, burning houses, and destroying solar panels. Tuba has been the target of settler arson attacks before, but as Basel Adra witnessed firsthand, this #pogrom appeared to be on a different scale.

    As Israeli settler #pogroms continue to sweep the #WestBank with impunity, Mohammad Hesham Huraini detailed what it feels like to be inside one. He described finding himself completely helpless: His car was engulfed in flames, but all that mattered to him was his family’s survival.

    The airstrike on Tuesday killed at least seven people, including a child, and wounded 14, according to Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya, head of Al-Shifa Hospital. Several of those were in critical condition, and medical workers were “trying to save their lives,” he said.

    apnews.com/article/israel-west

    August 17, 2026

    The siege of #Palestinian homes by #Israeli settlers comes as violence in the #WestBank has soared in recent months. The settlers, emboldened by Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu’s right-wing government, have ramped up attacks on Palestinian towns and villages, harassing residents and setting homes, mosques and fields ablaze.

    Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed 87 Palestinians so far this year, according to Palestinian health officials. Palestinians have killed three Israelis, including two who were killed during clashes in the West Bank village of Tell last month.

    As the #FIFAWorldCup enters its final stages, it is clear that even three years of #genocide has not extinguished Gazans’ passion for the game. Ibtisam Mahdi described how #Palestinians are defying Israeli bombings and power outages to follow #soccer’s biggest tournament, while many still fear that the world has abandoned them.

    After hours spent carefully preparing her cakes, Abrar Abdu stood stunned in silence before her oven.

    In her small, darkened workshop in #Gaza City, the only light came from her phone’s torch, illuminating more than 27 ruined cakes - the result of a sudden #power cut and a faulty oven.

    Abdu, 34, who runs a small cake business in the #Palestinian enclave, was forced to apologise to customers after failing to deliver their orders, refund every payment and absorb the full cost of the wasted ingredients.

  8. Pro-Palestine activists appear in court over attack on Israeli arms factory in Germany
    Families say ‘Ulm 5’ have been detained under extreme prison conditions since arrest last September

    April 27, 2026

    Five pro-#Palestinian activists have appeared in court over an attack on an #Israeli arms company in #Germany, charged with causing approximately €1m of damage.

    Prosecutors say the defendants, aged 25 to 40, trespassed and yelled pro-Palestinian statements as they destroyed office equipment, sensitive measuring devices and smashed windows at a site linked to #ElbitSystems in the southern city of Ulm.

    The activists published videos online in which they claimed responsibility for the attack, which they said was aimed at drawing attention to Germany’s support for #Israel and its #military actions in #Gaza.

    According to a media group, the #activists used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing to enter the premises.

    After occupying the roof, they drilled holes into it and then abseiled into the building.

    The Aftershock reported that the ceiling of the clean room, where Israeli #drone parts are reportedly made, was broken. It said that such contamination of the clean room could knock it out of use for some months.

    One of the activists involved said: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this #genocide that #Israel is committing on the #Palestinian people."

    Two shipments from #Britain of #military components bound for #Israel have been seized in #Belgium, which has banned aircaft carrying military equipment for Israel from stopping in the country or using its airspace.

    Last month, the British news website Declassified, Belgian NGO Vredesactie, Irish news website The Ditch, and the Palestinian Youth Movement alerted authorities in Brussels of a shipment travelling from Britain to Israel through #Liege airport.

    The consignments left Britain on 23 March and were seized at Liege airport in Belgium on 24 March.

    #Palestinians across the occupied #WestBank observed a general strike on Wednesday in protest against a new Israeli law allowing the execution of prisoners, as international condemnation mounted.

    #Fatah, the movement led by #PalestinianAuthority President #MahmoudAbbas, called for the strike, describing the legislation as a “dangerous escalation” against Palestinians.

    “This criminal law will not break the will of our people or the determination of our prisoners, but will instead strengthen our resolve to continue the struggle for their freedom and legitimate rights,” it said in a statement.

    A few days ago, I was walking with a friend through the tents in al-Mawasi, southern #Gaza. We were heading to a small cafe I have frequented since my roof became fabric.

    The ground beneath us was mud, the winter air heavy, and the faces around us heavier still. We were talking about the formation of the #US-led “Board of Peace”, in a phase of the so-called ceasefire that is supposedly defined by stability and reconstruction.

    At that exact moment, the sound of an explosion tore through the air. We stopped talking, and I found myself asking: how is this a ceasefire? How can peace be declared while explosions still echo above our heads?

    Eighteen defendants allegedly involved in a #PalestineAction raid on an Israeli-owned arms factory in the #UK will no longer face charges of aggarvated burglary, after six others were acquitted of the same charges.

    At Woolwich Crown Court in London on Wednesday, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said the Crown Prosecution Service had "reconsidered the sufficiency of the evidence" and would offer no evidence on that charge.

    The 18 will continue to face other charges in connection with the alleged raid.

    One year ago, Israel launched Operation Iron Wall, expelling 40,000 Palestinians from the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams refugee camps in the #WestBank and launching a campaign of mass demolition. Majd Jawad reported how Israel is preparing permanent control of the camps by paving military roads — while refugees wait not only to return, but to reclaim the rights the camps preserved.

    A harrowing cartoon by Peter de Wit depicts parents sunbathing on an idyllic beach in #Gaza, while their toddler blissfully digs up skulls in the sand.

    De Wit’s “Gaza Beach 2030” won the award for best political cartoon in the Netherlands last year.

    Now, a plan unveiled by #Trump's son-in-law might just bring such a dystopian image to reality.

    #JaredKushner, who serves as a #US special envoy, announced plans for a “New Gaza” - complete with shiny skyscrapers, coastal tourist attractions and entire districts dedicated to business and commerce.

  18. Israel Is Turning the Yellow Line Splitting Gaza into a Physical Barrier
    Last month, the Israeli military began constructing earth berms in areas along the yellow line, physically cutting off Palestinians from the Israeli-controlled zone and the rest of Gaza.

    The Israeli military is turning the yellow line that demarcates the more than half of the Gaza Strip it occupies and controls into a physical border. Analysis of satellite imagery by Forensic Architecture shows that the Israeli military has begun constructing earth berms—large, raised mounds of earth—in areas along the yellow line to create a physical separation between the Palestinian population forced to live in the western half of the enclave, and Israeli forces who occupy the eastern half.

  19. Winter Cold and Collapsing Buildings Kill Palestinians in Gaza as Israel Blocks Shelter Supplies
    A family of three was killed while they slept by a collapsing wall. A one-year-old baby died from the cold. Over 30 Palestinians in Gaza have died from a lack of shelter this winter.

    #Israel’s continued strangulation of essential supplies during winter has left hundreds of thousands of Palestinians shivering in the wet and cold and nearly three dozen dead. The genocidal war has displaced nearly the entire population and reduced #Gaza to a broken landscape of rubble and collapsed structures. Hundreds of thousands of #Palestinians are now living in flimsy tents that provide little shelter from the elements.

  20. How Israel’s multi-ton truck bombs ripped through Gaza City

    archive.ph/tiKp8

    In the weeks before the ceasefire on October 10, #Israel widely deployed a new weapon: M113 Armoured Personnel Carriers repurposed to carry between 1 and 3 tons of explosives, Reuters found.

    As Israeli troops pushed toward the centre of Gaza City, these powerful bombs, along with airstrikes and armour-plated bulldozers, leveled swathes of buildings, drone footage and satellite images show.

    In most cases, but not all, the inhabitants fled ahead of demolitions after Israeli warnings, residents, Israeli security sources and #Gaza authorities said.

  21. ‘Free Them All’: One Year After Dr. Abu Safiya Abducted, Israel Urged to Release Gaza Health Workers

    Ahead of Saturday’s one-year anniversary of #Israel abducting Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya from the #Gaza #hospital he ran, advocates demanded the release the scores of health workers still imprisoned by Israeli occupation forces.

    “One year ago, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was abducted by the Israeli military along with dozens of other medical staff during a horrific raid on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza,” Dr. Yipeng Ge, a member of #DoctorsAgainstGenocide, said Friday on social media. “Free Hussam Abu Safiya. Free them all.”
